In the 7th military trial against singer Seungri, military prosecutors added charges of special assault teacher.
At the end of 2015, when Seungri got into a dispute with other customers at a bar in Gangnam, Seoul, former Yuri Holdings CEO In-seok Yoo called a gang of gangs he had known.
Gangsters are accused of trying to forcibly steal cell phones while swearing at controversial customers.
The military prosecution said, “Seungri conspired with Yoo In-seok to show off his power and threaten the victims.”
Seungri is already being tried on eight charges, including routine gambling and prostitution.
With the addition of special assault teachers this time, charges have increased.
The victorious side denied the charges.
In the previous trial, women who claimed to have engaged in Seungri and sex trafficking came out as witnesses, but Seungri’s side refuted that “I didn’t know I was a sex trafficking woman.”
Former CEO Yoo In-seok, who was handed over to the trial with the victory, was sentenced to three years probation after one year and eight months in prison at the first trial last month.
In the midst of this, Mr. Sang-gyo Kim, who reported’Burning Sun Gate’ for the first time, continued to expose further by posting on his social media.
After uploading a photo of Girls’ Generation member Hyoyeon, Kim insisted on revealing who was intoxicated with drugs in Burning Sun Club in 2018 and who assaulted her.
